Whatsoever Is Lovely Challenge – July 17, 2022

This weekend I finally opened my cottage. It is truly my special place. I normally open sooner but I was so busy with my art show that this was the first opportunity I had to go up with my daughter. Opening up is always a big job and I knew that I couldn’t do it on my own so having Andrea with me made the whole process so much easier and more fun. Here are a few images from the north shore at Big Sand Bay and from the dock.

I’m not sure how often I will participate in this challenge because I haven’t changed my desktop for at least a couple of years. Maybe I should start doing that but I love this photo of Big Sand Bay on Christian Island.

BTW I did change the photo on my desktop just now.

Square Skies from the Past

…thanks to Becky B for hosting Past Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/10/30/past-squares-30/

On the eve of Hallowe’en and the second last day of the October Square Challenge I looked back to find some of my favourite sky photos. I’m not surprised that most of them are from the cottage and from the park at the bottom of our street. Enjoy!

One Last Sunset Over Big Sand Bay

….until next year

When we closed the cottage last Monday we were blessed with two things. First the rain stopped before we arrived and the sun came out. Secondly we experienced an amazing sunset.

Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge – End of Summer

Posted on September 25, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge https://xingfumama.blog/2021/09/24/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2021-week-39/

After the long weekend at the end of the summer season the beach chairs are folded and stacked but not yet put away. Many of us hope to get up to our cottages a couple more times before the Thanksgiving weekend when the season finally ends and the cottages are cleaned out, bedding is stored away, the water is drained from the pipes, BBQs are covered, canned goods are brought home so they don’t freeze over the winter and everything on the beach is returned to the cottage and put into storage.
